What we need in many countries is a group of leaders with real vision. The best we could do here in Australia was the "Work choices" legislation which effectively sent our work place relations system back to the late 1700's!
I don't think we will really see any dramatic shift in political strategy and policy untill people in my generation become old enough to get into seats of power. The old Baby Boomers are still in power and they don't want to give up. These people are still ruling states based upon the old realist ideals of the all powerfull state in a very cold war mind set...its us versus the rest!

Hi Nick
Yeah this Kiwi thought many times about flying the Tasman.
Then I read in the paper that the Aus government is talking about going down the same destructive road NZ just went down. Can't win. May still quit this country yet.
I am a baby boomer, I used to think my generation would make a difference but what we got was 30 years of vultures in commerce and twisted individuals in politics. They were not like us, they were damaged goods, wierdos mostly. Few of them were what I would call healthy people.
Another good thing about boomers getting to retirement age is that there should be a labour shortage and that should see wages and labour laws improving. But how you tax payers will fund our hospitals, rest homes and pensions hehe, thats going to be interesting. Maybe you should export your boomers to NZ...
I hope you do get some healthy people into power, coz I might come join you if that happens.
